That's not super great news, after looking at that review...

It would be interesting to see how the Forte measures up to the Echo Link Amp, which as far as I can tell is a very similar device.

Point #2 is often misused. The original states "The customer is always right in matters of taste". In other words, if you think it's trashy or gauche as a salesperson, keep your opinion to yourself. If it's just wrong or bad, the customer is not always right.

The fact that this and the Hugo are made by the same company is hilarious to me.

I mean I can try not to put it on the floor but man it gets heavy to hold when I'm listening to music. Definitely feel it in my chest, though.

I resemble that remark.

If Macs aren't to your taste in amps, maybe a kraken?

I like Macintosh, but I recognize that it's a hotly debated topic. I give you this turntable:

For me it was a matter of getting the tweeters at ear level, nothing more.

I suffer from acute depression, so the issue for me is less fear of death and more temptation towards it. Medication helps a lot - I take Lexapro. There are side effects I'd rather do without but it beats the relentless call of the void.

IMO the last few posts don't belong in this thread. Don't derail the deal train!

I use comply foam tips, but had good luck with generic silicon tips as well.

I have no horse in this race, but if it isn't hottest next to the heat sink that is probably indicative of a design problem by itself. That said, design is all about tradeoffs and I agree that we lack the context regarding this particular tradeoff and assuming it's lazy/bad engineering is...

Hmmm, I don't know.... those 470D stickers aren't lined up perfectly, could affect the sound...

The Magni 3 does not do speakers. It's a great headphone amp, though. I believe the same is true for Atom. Obv. that isn't an issue if you're using them to feed a powered monitor like the 305s. How much do Adam monitors run in Australia? I bought a pair of the budget line for my son and we've...

I am honestly torn between this sentiment and the desire to reduce electronics waste. Happily, the Topping and Aiyama stuff I've bought to date has all functioned impeccably over time, so I haven't needed to make a choice between price and longevity.

I think it's an overstatement that monetary policy requires prescience in order to be an effective tool to manage economies (all models are wrong, their value is in their utility, not their accuracy), but I agree that it is a complicated topic with a complicated history. IMO, that just adds...

I'm not convinced replacing fiat currencies with crypto doesn't create more problems that it solves. Monetary policy is one of the primary levers central banks have to mitigate large swings in the economy. Removing that lever is likely to make crash/boom cycles more severe.

Wow that's quite the price difference vs. US. You can get a brand new pair of Vanatoo T0s for about $360 US, which is probably $450-$500 AUD. Is that Vanatoo price from their website, because a $500 AUD import fee seems pretty nuts.
